CURTAIN RING AND HOOK.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANNIE MANNY CLERK, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and resident of 214 Cherrier street, in the city and district of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain Rings and Hooks; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

The invention relates to improvements in curtain rings and hooks, as described in the present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings that form part of the same.

The invention consists essentially of the novel arrangement in which the hook portion is integral with the band of the ring portion and is formed by an extension of said band from the rigid and permanent joint.

The objects of the invention are to devise a simple form of ring with hook attached which will simplify the hanging of curtains and at the same time present a good appearance and to provide an article for the purpose of cheap and durable construction.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the ring complete. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the ring and hook in midsection. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the ring and hook showing a slightly modified form. Fig. 4 is a side view, showing the ring and hook, illustrated in Fig. 3, in midsection.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is the band of the ring portion having the outwardly bent end extensions 2 and 3, the extension 3 forming the hook portion of the device, said extension 3 being made with the inwardly turned prongs 4. The extension 2 is Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 2, 1909.

Serial No. 520,642.

permanently and rigidly secured to the extension 3 by the rivet 5.

In Figs. 3 and 4 a double arrangement is shown in the hook portion of the device and in this form of the invention 6 and 7 are the extensions having the prongs 8 and 9, said extensions being joined rigidly and permanently by a suitable rivet.

In the use of this invention, the ring is slid on to the pole as customary and the curtains caught on to the exposed prongs of the hook portion, thus the hanging of the curtains is completed in a few minutes.

There are other forms of combination hook and ring known, but none is known, as far as I am aware, in which the band of the ring is rigidly and permanently joined by the extensions forming the hook or hook portions as the case may be.

The material from which this ring and hook may be made has not been mentioned hereinbefore, but to suit the particular form of construction in this invention, it should be of brass or like metal. However, modifications may occur from the precise form described in the event of other metals or material being used, the salient features being the rigid arrangement of the hook and its integrality with the ring.

What I claim as my invention is:

In a curtain ring and hook, a band forming the ring portion and having outwardly bent end extensions, one of said extensions having inwardly turned prongs forming a hook portion, and a rivet rigidly and permanently joining said bent end extensions.

Signed at the city and district of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, this 30th day of September, 1909.

ANNIE MANNY CLERK.
